Subject: Support the President’s Bold Diplomacy in the Middle East!

Dear [decision maker name automatically inserted here],

I am writing to request that you sign the Cohen-Boustany-Carnahan letter to President Obama, backing strong American leadership to achieve a two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians, and a comprehensive peace for the entire region. As a pro-Israel, pro-peace constituent, I recognize that strong American leadership is crucial in resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and bringing about a comprehensive Mideast peace.

Especially, in light of the visits of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and President Hosni Mubarak to the White House, it is essential that the President know that he has the strong support of Congress in renewing U.S. leadership to help negotiate a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Please sign the Cohen-Boustany-Carnahan letter to President Obama today and join with me in supporting the president in pursuit of a two-state solution, representing Israel’s best chance for achieving enduring peace and security.
